Ever thought about writing down some thoughts about the events in your life - or some of the reflections that have come across your mind from time to time?

Having them in writing so that we can go back to them can add a rich dimension to our lives.

Many published authors will tell you that this is how they got their start. Keeping a Journal is a great way to record these thoughts. And, it may not require the time and effort that you think.

"Creating Memories through Journaling" is a two-hour fun workshop designed to acquaint you with some of the basics involved with this activity.

The facilitator, Hamilton native John Dodsworth, is a published author. As well as sharing some of his own tips for journaling, any workshop participants who wish to share their own journaling experiences will be encouraged to do so as well.
